Cold Steel Urban Edge Double Serrated AUS-8A Fixed Blade Knife
A push-dagger-style knife with a “T” grip, i.e., with the handle positioned perpendicular to the blade, designed for tactical and self-defense applications. The serrated blade with a dagger profile is made of Japanese AUS‑8A stainless steel and finished with a satin finish, giving it a semi-matte surface. The handle, made of black Kray‑Ex material, ensures a secure and stable grip. The set includes a Secure‑Ex sheath and a chain that allows the knife to be carried, for example, around the neck or on a belt.
Japanese AUS-8A steel
The blade is made of Japanese AUS-8A steel, which retains its sharpness for a long time and is easy to resharpen. After heat treatment, it achieves a hardness of 58–60 HRC, making it a sturdy material with good cutting performance and durability.
symmetrical dagger blade, satin finish
The serrated dagger-style blade measuring 64 mm in length and 2.5 mm in thickness is symmetrical and sharpened on both sides. The blade has been finished using a satin finish, giving it a semi-matte texture that reduces light reflections and increases resistance to minor scratches.
Kray-Ex handle scales
The knife handle is made of deeply textured Kray-Ex plastic, which ensures a secure grip. Kray-Ex is highly impact-resistant, effectively absorbing vibrations during strikes or thrusts. The shape of the handle prevents the hand from slipping, allowing for precise control of the knife, even in the rain or when wearing gloves.
Secure-Ex system sheath, neck chain
The sheath included with the knife in the Secure-Ex system is made of a lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant material. The sheath holds the knife securely in place, preventing it from accidentally falling out. Additionally, the knife can be worn around the neck using the included ball chain, which ensures convenience and comfort during everyday use.

Militaria.pl is the official distributor of Cold Steel.
Cold Steel is a respected American brand of knives, machetes, and tactical tools, founded in 1980 in Irving, California. The company gained popularity thanks to innovative solutions such as Kraton® handles and American Tanto blades, appreciated by uniformed services and military enthusiasts. It also introduced its own steel alloys, such as San Mai III®, which provides high durability and wear resistance. Cold Steel patented the Tri-Ad™ Lock blade locking mechanism, which guarantees safe use. The brand works with respected knifemakers, including the company's founder Lynn C. Thompson and Andrew Demko, whose passion and experience contribute to the high quality of the products.

Secure-Ex
Secure-Ex is a system developed by Cold Steel, designed for the safe storage and convenient carrying of knives and tools. Sheaths made with this technology are lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, making them suitable even for intensive use. They hold the knife securely in the sheath while allowing for quick and smooth draw. The system has a modular design - the sheaths can be supplemented with various fasteners, such as buckles, clips (e.g., C-Clip) or ball chains. This allows the knife to be worn on a belt, around the neck, or in other configurations, according to the user's preferences.
Kray-Ex
Kray-Ex is a synthetic polymer with a rubber-like structure used by Cold Steel to manufacture knife handles. It is characterized by high adhesion and anti-slip properties, ensuring a secure grip even in high humidity, low temperatures, and with dirty hands. The material is flexible and absorbs shocks well, which increases comfort of use. Kray-Ex is also resistant to cracking, abrasion, chemicals, and adverse weather conditions, making handles made of this material durable and virtually maintenance-free. Cold Steel uses it in tactical, survival, and utility knives.
AUS-8A
AUS-8A is a Japanese stainless steel, equivalent to 440B steel, characterized by a good balance between corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and edge retention. The carbon content (0.7-0.75%) affects the hardness of the steel, while chromium (13-14.5%) provides very good corrosion and abrasion resistance. Vanadium additives (up to 0.26%) improve the homogeneity of the steel's crystal structure and increase the blade's resistance to abrasion. The steel also contains molybdenum (0.1-0.3%), manganese (0.5%), silicon (0.4-1%), and nickel (0.49%). After proper heat treatment, AUS-8 steel achieves a hardness of 58-60 HRC, making it a solid material with good cutting properties and durability. The steel is widely used in mid-range knives, mainly produced in Japan and Taiwan, such as the popular Ontario RAT 1.
Satin
Satin finishing is one of the most popular blade finishes, achieved by grinding the steel with fine-grained abrasives. Parallel micro-scratches remain on the surface, giving the knife a technical, matte appearance. Satin finishing has both aesthetic and practical significance - a smoothed blade is easier to clean, and the slightly reduced friction promotes smoother cutting. Depending on the direction and intensity of polishing, different effects are achieved - from a matte finish to an almost mirror-like finish. Satin is valued in both utility and collector's knives because it emphasizes the structure and quality of the steel while maintaining functionality.

A small secret knife you can always carry with you. The workmanship is very good, but that's CS after all. I recommend the product and, of course, the store.
-
Purchased for discreet carrying when the Safe Maker and Safe Maker 2 are already visible. Its main advantages are that it is small and handy.
-
Cold Steel Urban Edge is exactly what I needed for some possible crisis situation. Small but wild. The workmanship is flawless. I recommend shopping at Militaria pl.
-
A very handy push dagger made of decent materials.
-
A very good single-edged dagger, the steel is flawless. It is quite sharp so far; I haven't needed to sharpen it. The handle sits securely and safely in hand. Unfortunately, due to my mistake, I thought it had the option to be attached to a belt, but it turned out that a different, longer, and a bit more expensive model has that option. But that's my fault. The set includes a chain for neck carry, and there's no worry here since the sheath is safe and there's no way the dagger could come out unintentionally. Before buying, I suggest...
-
The knife is very sharp but easy to blunt, but it fits very well in hand (I use gloves size S), so a bigger model would be better for larger hands.
-
+very sharp knife -too small, hard to hold comfortably and deliver a thrust -the tip broke off after a light push into plywood =I would rather recommend buying a bigger model of this knife.
